I've kept about 500 of the CDs I've ripped from over the years. I have over 20K songs on my computer, about 85% flac, the rest high bitrate MP3. I gave up vinyl in 1984 and I've never looked back. People sometimes try to sell the vinyl experience. If I could have any advice for moving forward, I would be very grateful. Vinyl's, and the setup, take up a lot of room. The cost speakers, a turntable and a pre-amp are all needed to make sound.

The problem with Vinyl, is several things: Some artists, like Jon Bellion, do not sell all of their music on CD. When/if my Hard Drive breaks, I have to rip all the CD's all over again. Maintaining a collection: CD's can rot, and they can take up room, too. This wouldn't be too expensive to start with. I could nuke my current iTunes library (it would drive me mad to have a mix of ripped CD's and iTunes songs) and buy my favourite albums on CD, to rip to iTunes in lossless or at least 320kbps.

But the main reason for me not taking it up, was the fact that I listen to singles, and some other reasons I will address below. Regretting the purchase of iTunes songs, when I was a naive idiot who thought £1/song was good, and paying for music once is better than paying to stream music for 30 days.

He was telling me about how good vinyl is compared to digital, and I read up on this myself, and. I have amassed around 300 songs, so it's not really too late to turn things around and start afresh.Īfter getting into the Pink Floyd discography thanks to my friend, the same friend introduced me to his DSOTM vinyl. I have been collecting music frequently (an album or two every week or so) on iTunes for the last year. Hey, I just wanted to get this off my chest and maybe feel a bit better.
